Brand new coilovers angle grinded!

[Spoonman]

Good for you, some of us have to rely on others and hope they know what they are doing! When you are then told by the company that the tire missing quite a lot of rubber from the Inside tire wall is perfectly okay to use it makes you wonder just how competent these people are! anyway it's this simple I have added a few things to the car because that is what I wanted to do, I have modified every car I have ever owned, I now want to remove the camber angle because that is what I want to do!

Errm you drove the car didnt you......... did it not feel terrible to drive if one wheel had that much neg camber it was rubbing the strut tower, surely that should have had alarm bells ringing.

What are your caster and toe settings if you camber is now back to 0 ? .....(they should be on the alignment printout).

No the car did not feel different in any way, I noticed something was wrong when I got home, there was shed loads of rubber all over the front nearside wheel, have you not read any of the previous posts? Next week I am going to have the camber taken off and reverted back to standard, the company that put the negative camber on did it by eyesight, I thought this was strange at the time but because they have done many VIP cars with extreme camber I thought they knew what they were doing, I was wrong, the camber was corrected by Manit Center Max, according to them the effected side I think had 4 degrees of camber as opposed to the opposite side which had 3 degrees, I know nothing about this so I am at there mercy, it has been sorted by using spacers on the front and correcting the Camber which as I said was done by Manit, seriously I have done many things to cars that was not needed and in this case coilovers and Camber, yes I have wasted a pot load of money on cars but it's what I like doings, any body would think I was rich!

Manit can not take off the Camber so I have to take it back to the Installers, lets hope they do it right!

Don't they have a 12mm spanner to loosen the strut top nuts ?

Put vehicle on wheel alignment machine/loosen coil over and move to new position/tighten coil over.

As I have explained before I know nothing about suspension, Manit looked and did not seem to know how to revert the camber back to normal,

Okay that sounds like something Manit should be able to do, should I take it back to them and ask them again if they can revert back to standard spec?

The other problem is once the camber is back to normal I think the ride height will need to be adjusted, or I could just leave it as it is, it all seems a lot of hassle to get this sorted, if the car was to be reverted back to the standard March suspension would the camber go with the coilovers? In other words is the camber kit part of the coilovers or part of something else.

[Spoonman]

Ask them for a print out from their wheel alignment machine for the standard settings, if they cannot I would suggest that they do not know what they are and maybe you should go elsewhere.

Thanks for your help by the way!!

Have now taken the coilovers off and the standard suspension back on, in hind site I should never have got coilovers in the first place but at the time it was what I wanted, selling them looks like being very difficult!
